Characterization of antigens on mosquito midgut stages of Plasmodium gallinaceum. III. Changes in zygote surface proteins during transformation to mature ookinete

R Carter, DC Kaushal - Molecular and biochemical parasitology, 1984 - Elsevier
Proteins expressed on the surface of zygotes of Plasmodium gallinaceum during their
development from fertilization to mature ookinetes have been examined by lactoperoxidase
catalysed surface radioiodination and immunoprecipitation with stage-specific immune
rabbit sera and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Surface-labelled
proteins of apparent M r equal to or greater than 55 000 on the female gametes and newly
fertilized zygotes were shed during transformation and were recovered quantitatively and …
